Mary D’Costa recently took to Instagram to clarify the viral chats between her and composer Palash Muchhal. Her statement came amid rumors that she was the reason behind the postponement of Palash Muchhal and cricketer Smriti Mandhan’s wedding.
Breaking her silence on the rumours, Mary D’Costa said in her Instagram post that she never met Palash Muchhal and that their contact lasted for a month.
Several screenshots of chats between Palash Muchhal and Mary D’Costa have surfaced on social media, sparking speculations. Pictures of the flirtatious chats, allegedly posted by D’Costa on Reddit, soon went viral on social media.
D’Costa shared images of her alleged chats with Palaash on Reddit. The account, along with the image on the display, has since been deactivated, but screenshots have made it onto social media platforms.
“I’m not a choreographer”
In a note shared on Instagram, Mary D’Costa wrote: “The first exchange of chats was between April 29 and May 30, 2025, so the contact only lasted one month. I want to make it absolutely clear that I never met him and was never involved with him in any way.”
“People ask, ‘Why talk about it now?’ The truth is that I actually exposed him back in July, but at the time nobody really knew who he was, so it went unnoticed,” she said.
“There’s also been a lot of confusion about who I am. I want to clarify, I’m not the choreographer and I’m not the person he cheated with. I’m saying this because things are getting mixed up and I don’t want people to assume the wrong things,” added D’Costa.
